About This Home
The RPA LivingHome 1 is a four bedroom two story home with loft, designed by Richard Pedranti Architect and built to Passive House standard, targeting 80% less energy use for heating and cooling than conventional construction. The ground floor holds two en suite bedrooms, including the master suite; the loft provides two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom and a bonus room. Hard costs cover factory fabrication, transport, installation and sitework; design and permitting are additional.
What We Love
Passive House certification in a factory built four bedroom is uncommon. The 80% reduction in heating and cooling energy is not a marketing claim but the verified Passive House standard threshold, and the home also qualifies for a LEED pathway if preferred.
